2. Head for the beach

There are few things nicer than heading for the beach on a sunny day. In Norfolk, we are blessed with gorgeous beaches including Brancaster Beach with its stretch of golden sands and Holkham with its sandy beach backed by pinewoods.

Choose fabrics inspired by the sand for your bedroom curtains or living room blinds. Your curtains and blinds will be made in Norfolk by expert craftspeople at Norwich Sunblinds. It all starts with a home appointment when we can advise on the best options for your home.
